Just when she would start sleeping normally again (NOT through the night EVER-but more normal). Then it would be time for another surgery. She still wakes up, wants to be smack in the middle of us---forget the crib---but is doing better. <BR/><BR/>Both of my older kids didn't sleep well until 3ish. They nursed until they were 18 months old and then we would start them in their bed and they would just end up in ours by the middle of the night. This meant lots of getting up trying to get them back into their own bed and eventually saying FORGET IT!!!! Everyone sleeps better if they are in our bed. Now at almost 4 and 6, they both sleep in their own beds all night long.<BR/><BR/>Just always remember, THIS TOO SHALL PASS.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck!John, Shannon, Broderick, Camden, and Adalynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376157856834833325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4832473971087119672.post-70073493515217476132008-06-03T19:06:00.000-07:002008-06-03T19:06:00.000-07:00Janeen,I am so willing to come over and hang out w...Janeen,<BR/><BR/>I am so willing to come over and hang out with the kiddos so that you can get a nap...you need that and you deserve that!

I would be happy to come down and get Ellie so you could nap when Reid naps during the day and I am very serious about this! Ava and Ellie would love to play together. Please let me know if I can help! I have been through the sleepless nights and sometimes the bottom line is you just need some sleep. Hang in there!<BR/><BR/>NelaAva and the Tripshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747231877271653238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4832473971087119672.post-83950625531811188832008-06-03T13:30:00.000-07:002008-06-03T13:30:00.000-07:00Oh, Janeen,I wish I could just come over there, gi...Oh, Janeen,<BR/><BR/>I wish I could just come over there, give you a big hug, and tell you to go take a nap! I know how you are feeling, not with the nasal stints, but just in general. This entire process takes so much out of you. It is physically and emotionally draining. I think anyone who has gone through anything similar with their child has felt this way. You have every right to be feeling the way you do. Just trust that things will get better, they really will. You will figure out what works best for you and Reid, and he will be resilient, just like he has proven time and time again. You have such a strong little guy, he is absolutely AMAZING. He gets that from having such strong and amazing parents, you really are to have come this far!<BR/><BR/>Now for the suggestions and tips. Is there any way someone could come over to watch the kids so you can get some much needed rest? I think it would be extremely beneficial for everybody. Also, have you tried wrapping Reid in a big blanket or a sheet when you need to put in his nasal stints? This way his arms and legs are not pushing and kicking, and it should go much faster! <BR/><BR/>I hope these words and suggestions are helpful. I'm glad you enjoyed the video of Abby watching Reid, I thought that would put a smile on your face! <BR/><BR/>Hang in there Mama, you've come so far!<BR/><BR/>AllisonAllisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13312493368979829688noreply@blogger.com
